[QUOTE="la4angus, post: 31671, member: 132"] 3 and below could be OK if the bull is siring real long bodied calves. I had one first calf hfr bred to Hoff Limited Edition SC 594, He has a BW EPD of +4.7 with 98% accuracy. The hfr had no problem having a 93 lb. hfr calf. The calf was very long aand was up nursing in a matter of minutes and continued to grow like a bad weed. She weaned at 610 actual wt. and adj 205 day wt of; I believe 639 lb. No creep feed, strictly on the dams milk and hay and RyeGrass thru the winter. I would definite look for a high accuracy bull that has plenty of calves on the ground. I prefer an accuracy of 98% to 99%. [/QUOTE]
